by Fernando Diaz / Articles, EA Sports FC 24 / 21 Jun 2023

Every year, EA’s keeping us on our toes, dropping new skill moves, making sure we’ve always got something slick up our sleeve… FC 24 ain’t slacking. With fresh animations and moves that’ll make defenders look like they’re on skates, you best believe you’re gonna wanna learn these!

The Legendary Ball Roll Drag

This four-star skill move is straight fire. With just a quick flick, you’ll have your opponent scratching their head, wondering where you’re off to next.

How to Flex with the PlayStation

Hold down that L1 button.

Flick the Right Stick (RS) forward.

THEN, hit it left or right, depending on where you’re trying to make that exit. It’s kinda like a quick juke or a dance move. Feel the rhythm, homie.

Xbox Squad

Keep LB held down.

Flick the Right Stick forward.

Slide it left or right for the finish.

And remember it’s all about the flair… This move is kinda similar to the McGeady spin, but the L1 or LB hold is what gives it that extra pizzazz.

Drag Back Turn: The Ultimate U-Turn

Feeling a bit cornered? Need a slick move to reposition and bamboozle your defender?? Enter the Drag Back Turn.

Why’s it lit? It lets you pull the ball back and progress in a new direction without that long animation. Perfect for those tight spots where you gotta think fast and act faster.

Here’s how you flex with it on PlayStation:

Grip that L2 tight.

Hold your right stick back.

Xbox players, here’s your move:

Press down on LT.

Hold that right stick back.

When you got your attacker’s back against a defender and need to pivot quick for a shot or to drop a dime on a pass? This move’s gotchu. If you’re out on the wing trying to send in that crispy cross, whip this move out.

Pro Tips & Tricks

Make sure your players have at least a four-star rating. Not all players can pull these moves off, so pick your squad wisely.

Always be on the lookout for opponents’ positions.

And don’t forget, practice makes perfect. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t nail these moves right away. Remember, even Messi didn’t become a legend overnight!
